These photographs end up on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ubergrapher\/\">Instagram profile<\/a>, often with unfiltered captions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He&#8217;s released an official photo-book\u00a0with Uber which\u00a0comprises of his posts, and I can&#8217;t help but question: what is it about this man that makes the otherwise shady request (of asking to take a picture of you in his car) seem so ordinary to others?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Art Of Remembering 11,500 Faces<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maverick has hit a milestone of 11,500 trips around Singapore today, so it&#8217;s understandable how he&#8217;s become so comfortable with conversing, though not all trips might have gone as smoothly as mine&#8217;s going. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is, after all, an interview &#8211; so he&#8217;s probably had the opportunity to rehearse quite a number of times. Better rehearsals than risk, given the nature of his hobby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He gets the conversation rolling on his own initiative, telling me everything I need to know about why he does what he does. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He started taking rider photos in October last year, an attempt at inculcating his hobby into work. It&#8217;s an attempt at humanizing and \u201cbreaking the routines\u201d of his daily life, given the nature of his job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In April this year, he published a photobook with Uber, a compilation of his photographs and their accompanying Instagram captions. It\u2019s part of the whopping 700 stories that he has gathered in 6 months of driving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BLjv6RDAmeJ\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BLjv6RDAmeJ\/<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m facing the road and they\u2019re sitting at the back, so I use photographs to have memory.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He&#8217;s no Humans of New York, and he doesn&#8217;t try to be. Maverick describes his style as &#8220;light-hearted comment and captioning,\u201d and not \u201cheavy-hearted transcripts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI may not think too much, I just say what I say, there are pros and cons to never thinking about the consequences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That explains the occasional queasy caption on his feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BPK1UzTgagm\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BPK1UzTgagm\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>Too Close For Comfort? <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the inhibition-lowering nature of his conversations with passengers, the pictures taken of them are up-close and gritty, from behind the window by the driver\u2019s seat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re also an inadvertent source of insight on passengers depending on how they respond to requests for these photos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some instantly reach for their glamour kit for some light touch-ups, he says, while others opt for multiple takes before selecting one where they look their best. And some others simply could not care less. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering his success in getting passengers to converse candidly, I surmise the genius of his waiting location: parked by popular nightlife spots, he easily gains a clientele that are considerably relaxed and loosened up prior to meeting him\u2014 definitely a contributing factor to his consenting \u201c90% of customers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQldcRDgiIX\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQldcRDgiIX\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maverick realistically comments that not everything can be attributed to alcohol and relaxed demeanours. He admits that the possibly alarming realisation of being \u201ctrapped in a car\u201d contributes to their willingness to politely answer questions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s clear that it&#8217;s common for most to warm up to him, even offering personal stories of heartbreak, or complaining as if he&#8217;s an old friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a questionable approach, Maverick has racked up his fair share of fans &#8211; he&#8217;s held competitions with a ride in his vehicle being the reward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRoVSM5AjYx\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRoVSM5AjYx\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRy1JDQAwRN\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRy1JDQAwRN\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the nature of Uber\u2019s passenger-driver matching system prioritises efficiency and reasonable proximity as opposed to granting fans their wish to meet the Ubergrapher\u2026 he sounds a little relieved at this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In spite of this, he has come across a self-proclaimed fan or two, signing autographs for them and having them eagerly pose for his famed shots\u2014a skill, he jokes, that he has honed to the point of making anyone look good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQ3WGAXgQW8\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQ3WGAXgQW8\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>I Don\u2019t<\/b><b><i> Really<\/i><\/b><b> Spy With My Little Eye<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Socialising can get tiring on downcast days, so a \u201cstealthy\u201d set-up is perfect for Maverick. The only way to actually spot the Ubergrapher is through the bulky Canon EOS-1D that he has on his dashboard, although he puts it away occasionally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10786\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10786\" class=\"wp-image-10786 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7671-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7671-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7671-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ubergrapher\u2019s set-up looks exactly like those of most professional drivers, who need two phones. He uses this phone for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/peeqr.com\/profile\/ubergrapher\">live-streams<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking about his YouTube channel (launched in April this year), Maverick mentions the discreet Go-Pro camera that he uses for recording \u201csomewhere at the back\u201d. He typically reveals its presence to passengers mid-ride, so as to incite most \u201cnatural\u201d, genuine reactions possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure I can imagine those revelations going well most of the time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He claims he hasn\u2019t had any hostile responses to date, and has a \u201cpretty high success rate of customers giving consent\u201d. If plausible, I presume it is because of the situation that could either seem cornering or completely orderly to customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Maverick says he doesn\u2019t publish content that customers don\u2019t consent to, I can&#8217;t fathom the awkwardness involved in having to turn off all equipment when a customer\u2019s unhappy, all to follow with a sullen ride and the prospect of an awful review. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suppose having all of your live-streaming equipment and your Youtube channel\u2019s content sponsored (by a company called \u201cPeeqr\u201d) makes the whole process seem all the more \u2018legit\u2019 and non-intrusive &#8211; just a little peek.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10785\" style=\"width: 5194px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10785\" class=\"wp-image-10785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7673.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10785\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Peeqr,&#8221; the application that Maverick uses for live-streaming.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cEverybody has a story, so if i\u2019m able to get enough information, I capture it in a photograph.\u201d <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a challenge determining whether that\u2019s just a corny sentence, or evidence of how much Ubergraphy means to the man &#8211; perhaps it&#8217;s a combination of both? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll admit though &#8211; it\u2019s noteworthy how he\u2019s able to recall the story of every passenger from just a photograph. \u00a0You can tell it\u2019s purposeful to him from the way he recalls passenger stories in detail just by looking at his photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>\u201cEveryone Is Beautiful\u201d<\/b><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_10784\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10784\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10784\" src=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7676-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7676-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/server1.webstudio.com.sg\/~staging\/ypsg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_7676-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ubergrapher himself with his photobook, published with Uber.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I ask about an issue that many taxi drivers have raised in conversation with me: ethnic communication stereotypes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s common perception that Asian cultures, in general, emphasize on the importance of being reserved, whilst foreigners to Singapore are perceived to be significantly extroverted. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maverick is vehement that they\u2019re mere fallacy, saying that it eventually comes down to the way he carries himself and deals with situations &#8211; the most he\u2019s dealt with are grumps from the occasional sulky customer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He goes on to tell me about how he believes that he\u2019s in exchange with a slew of 25 \u201cbeautiful people\u201d a day, a line i\u2019ve seen quoted in many of his other interviews, but an important one nevertheless; the essence of what helps him make the menial task of driving professionally sound so easy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even then, I don\u2019t buy into him stating that \u201cnobody\u2019s nasty\u201d; it\u2019s conceivably a mindset he\u2019s been forced to adopt through scathing experiences. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Ubergrapher Universe\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maverick has various plans for what he names his \u201cUbergrapher Universe,\u201d and with right reason. He has an Uber movie undergoing discussion, and he\u2019s got his sights set high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also plans to develop the Ubergrapher into a platform that provides the opportunity for people to voice their issues with confidence, \u201crather than just a forum&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BO790clAabL\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BO790clAabL\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of all of his projects; one of which includes an unorthodox internet property startup (mid-development), The Ubergrapher is what Maverick describes to be \u201ctotally me\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His celebrity status might become difficult to manage beyond the confines of a vehicle, and I start to see why anonymity is so important to Maverick. With business, boosts and implosions are equally possible . <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Road Best Travelled With Precaution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maverick is an undeniable connoisseur of his trade, and although he\u2019s in his thirties, meeting passengers of \u201call trades, all ages, (and) all countries\u201d, leaves him with an elderly-equivalent of experience and knowledge to impart.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Ubergrapher tells me about the power of positivity and how it\u2019s his strongest suit, I still cannot discern how his attempts have been the roaring success that he makes them out to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And for the safety of humanity, I pray they aren\u2019t. Whilst the Ubergrapher may be well-meaning, his anonymity makes it a walk in the park for copycats to use this for leverage against naive targets. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the Ubergrapher\u2019s videos are filmed closing the end of passengers\u2019 trips, and backgrounds could give your locations away, so it\u2019s best you exercise caution on this ride. If you\u2019re faced with a stalker, a video like that is potentially haunting and fatal. Very plainly, it\u2019s passenger responsibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His fame is a scary representation of how customers trust too readily within the safety nets of a business transaction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Maverick puts it, people have gotten so used to surveillance everywhere that surveillance crimes are just like terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbcxdfAgfUm\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbcxdfAgfUm\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou know that it happens, but you just have to live through your day without thinking too much about it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before Maverick and I share a strained parting handshake, he takes my photograph. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBright smile,\u201d he says. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From a passenger\u2019s seat, the nature of Maverick\u2019s activities ooze awkwardness, but I adhere to the request anyway.
